Slender Snouted Crocodile
The Slender-snouted Crocodile is one of Africa’s most distinctive crocodilians, known for its narrow, elongated snout, which gives it a unique and graceful appearance. Native to the rivers, lakes, and wetlands of West and Central Africa, this species is well-adapted to hunting small fish, amphibians, and invertebrates in shallow, murky waters.
Reaching lengths of up to 4 metres, the Slender-snouted Crocodile is relatively secretive, often spending time in quiet, undisturbed habitats where its slender snout allows it to catch prey with precision. Despite its calm nature, it is still a skilled predator and an important part of its ecosystem.
Currently listed as vulnerable, the Slender-snouted Crocodile faces threats from habitat loss, pollution, and hunting. At Crocodiles of the World, we are proud to care for this fascinating species and raise awareness about the need for conservation to protect the world's most extraordinary reptiles.
